The Daily Meme #840!

Welcome to the new year!
It's only ~20 days late, but better late than never, imo.

Today I want to tell you the story of a frog pond.
As frog ponds go, it was nothing out of the ordinary, just your average, every day frog pond.

The frogs cavorted, swam, and ate pretty much all the day and most of the night.
Each taking their own time to sleep, and to dream.

One day the frogs all noticed that social media was telling them that they needed a king.

Some folks were saying, 'But, we already have a king, and that king is king of all.'
Others were like 'We don't need any kings, be careful what you wish for.'

But the rabble would here none of it and beseeched the great frog, 'Oh, great frog, we need a king. One that we can see and feel'

So, the great frog sent them a log.

The log fell from the sky and was greatly entertaining to all the frogs for some time.
They would sun themselves on it and jump off of it to splash playfully in the water with the other frogs.
All in all, 'a pretty good king' was the consensus.

Well, things were going along great, until one day one of the frogs said, 'I'm tired of this king, all it does is sit there and exist. I want a king that does something.'

All the other frogs, except the no kings frogs, said, 'Yeah, we want a king that does something, too!'

So all the yes king frogs prayed and prayed, until the great frog got tired of hearing it.

He sent them a stork.

Now, you might wonder why the great frog would do that, I know I did, but when the irony hits you, you may want to look inside yourself and decide which group of frogs best suits your character.

Are you are tired of paying your masters to bomb children in far away places?
Perhaps it is time you pushed back on that.
A simple way that anybody can do that is to hoard your coins.
The fed buys coins at face value from the mint.
A dollar of change in your pocket is a dollar of value out of the banksters' pockets.
Stop playing in their shell game that allows them to play in the amusement parks from hell and shop in the human grocery stores.
